Whoever signs Revis will find themselves talking about money as long as he's on the team. He is outstanding but is coming off a knee and a hammy. I don't think he'll ever be happy. I think he's gonna make something like $17 M next year.

He's not our kind of guy and certainly not for Cousins.

If Griff and Revis were healthy and the dollars were better then I'd definitely consider it.

Also, lol...dude is 27 and coming back from an ACL injury. We should change our logo to a red hospital cross. Could keep the name and end the racist knit-picking.

Why trade someone who probably has about 3 years left in him (if he's lucky) over a guy with no injuries who could contribute to the franchise for 10 years?

We need players who fit our schemes and contribute to the overall spirit of the team. Shanahan is a freaking mad scientist at finding those folks. Funny thing is, they're NEVER the ones we are screaming for an often wonder how we missed it.

I trust Shanahan; he will build the team through drafts and a small handful of lesser known FA talents (even though its very tempting to get the gimmie's of these big talent FAs).

4 years ago Danny boy would have jumped all over this. Thank God we have MS/BA to reign him in.

Even though we really need a CB, trading Cousins for Revis would be an epic disaster. EPIC.

The last thing this team needs is a money-first, team-second player. I wouldn't take anyone from the Jets at this point. That entire me-first team is tainted. Revis is a very good player, but I think that prior history shows signing big $$$ free agents never works out.

We don't need to trade for a player who is probably on the down side of his career, given his knee issues. I think that Shanahan and Allen would not be interested in taking on the salary cap hit that would accompany such a trade combined with what the team might have to give up in exchange.

I'll pass.

This reminds me of when Asomugha hit the market all over again. At the time I said I thought that would be a mistake, and I think this would be a huge mistake, too. It is pretty uncommon to see someone sign a FA contract while at their peak value and then make the team happy they signed him. And when those deals go wrong, they tend to go very, very wrong.
